UNSPSC 50532304: Dried non GMO yellow heart breadfruit

The variety of non GMO breadfruit known as non GMO yellow heart breadfruit that has been dried for preservation. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50532304 Dried non GMO yellow heart breadfruit is a Commodity code that in principle names a specific dried fruit product, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevance to the nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code span school nutrition, senior meals, institutional food service, and fresh produce procurement — none of which involve dried breadfruit or breadfruit products. The issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). The representative solicitations are far broader grocery and food-service categories: the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 line items spanning breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, dairy, and meat products for school lunch programs; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumable products supporting the El Paso State Supported Living Center; Hancock County's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce covering apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, and specialty produce for school nutrition; and Hillsborough County's June 2026 ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17.8 million over three years.

Geographic activity centers on the Southeast and South — Connecticut, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, and Texas — with a Georgia statewide procurement also appearing. The code shows misalignment between its nominal commodity (dried non-GMO yellow heart breadfruit) and the actual procurement activity being tagged to it. No recent opportunities solicit dried breadfruit or breadfruit-specific products. Bidders evaluating this code should verify whether state and local procurement systems are applying it correctly or whether the code assignment reflects a data-entry error rather than genuine market demand for dried breadfruit in state and local food-service contexts.
